Executive Summary

  • Scaling HR teams drown in repetitive 'How do I access payroll?' queries and repetitive Okta software provisioning.
  • An orchestration pipeline triggered via an ATS hire flag automates 100% of day-one software setup.
  • An internal HR RAG agent handles 85% of standard HR handbook inquiries.

Complete elimination of manual seat-provisioning and welcome email drafting.

1. The ATS Trigger

The workflow begins when a candidate is marked as 'Hired' inside Greenhouse or Lever. This sends a webhook to the orchestration script.

Role-Based Access Control

The orchestration precisely determines that since the hire is 'Engineering', they require Azure DevOps access, Github CoPilot, and linear seats, while a 'Sales' hire only receives Salesforce and Outreach.io.

2. The Slack/Teams Internal Agent

The new hire is immediately greeted by the AI Onboarding Assistant in Slack. The agent checks in on day 1, 30, and 90, gathering sentiment data and answering specific benefits questions dynamically from the handbook PDF vector store.

The Compound Value

By automating IT provisioning and tier-1 HR support, scaling companies can double their headcount without expanding their PeopleOps overhead.
